LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) - A former Louisiana school board member has pleaded guilty in California to two counts of indecent exposure after authorities say he behaved lewdly in front of a 17-year-old girl while he asked her for directions.

News outlets in Lake Charles report that Charles “Chuck” Hansen was sentenced Monday to three years’ probation and 20 days of public work service. He will also have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Hansen resigned from the Calcasieu Parish School Board last year following his September arrest in San Diego.

Police say Hansen pulled up next to a 17-year-old pedestrian and masturbated while talking to her. Police were able to find Hansen nearby after the girl gave officers a description of him and his vehicle.
